Don Vincenzo Toscana IGT - Casaloste

The powerful Don Vincenzo Toscana from Casaloste presents itself in the glass with a dense ruby red. At the rim, there is also a color transition into garnet red. When the wine glass is swirled, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in church windows on the glass. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of elderberry, violets, and sour cherries in the glass. In addition, there are hints of toasted wood.

The Casaloste Don Vincenzo Toscana delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with only 0 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the icon-wine segment, this Italian, despite all its dryness, naturally enchants with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an extraordinarily velvety texture. Thanks to its lively acidity, the Don Vincenzo Toscana appears wonderfully fresh and vibrant on the palate. On the finish, this matured wine from the Tuscan winegrowing region finally impresses with considerable length. Once again, notes of sour cherry and elderberry appear.

Vinification of Casaloste Don Vincenzo Toscana

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Sangiovese. For this wonderfully powerful varietal wine from Casaloste, only first-class harvested grapes were used. After being handpicked, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the organically produced Don Vincenzo Toscana is matured for several months in oak barriques.
